Side Dishes To Have With Venison

flamboyant Gothic.

The city of Strasbourg is dominated by the steeple of the Cathedral. Peaking at 142 meters, the tip is visible from all points of the city. It was the tallest building in the world until 1874, and remains the second highest cathedral in France.
Built between 1176 and 1439 on a site occupied by temples since at least Roman times (with a temple dedicated to Mars), it reflects the Gothic style of the time.

The view is impressive when it leads to the cathedral. The legend says it was built on stilts in the oaks, which are themselves driven into the depths of an underground lake that is accessed by a cellar door of a house near ... The Legend says that on this same lake, we hear a rower to move his boat and no one could never see ... In reality, the building is actually built on stilts, but they are driven into the ground water ...

Sample Of Proposal For A New Franchise

GOLD and oblivion

Title: "Gold and omissions"
Author: Anne Cuneo (Suisse Romande)
Publisher: Bernard Campiche.
Genre: thriller

Very interesting thriller. Besides the traditional murder, Detective Mary Machiavelli is hired as a trainee lawyer in a law firm to discover the following records of Jewish property escheated.
Through this investigation, Anne Cuneo has merit and the courage to disclose, in the light of history, dishonest behavior of bankers and / or Swiss lawyer who became wealthy by appropriating the property of European Jews deported or missing. Many heirs were never able to recover their property (records destroyed, kept hidden, speculation, etc ...) Some had no idea they had an inheritance waiting. It
part of Swiss history reveals that Anne Cuneo and, at the same time, made uncomfortable much of his countrymen. Indeed it shows that the authorities at the time had facilitated the funding of Nazi Germany.
Story methodical, well documented, well-conducted action. Novel that piques our curiosity and challenges us to think. Lively style.

Comments
Anne Cuneo resumed, quite rightly, in a quote from the novel "Father Goriot" by Balzac, that illustrates the greed of men: " At the root of any property, there a crime is unknown "(p. 217).
But what history reveals to Swiss inglorious was found, alas, in other forms in other countries, and in France itself, there has not been that men and women , courageous, honest, and scrupulously and selfless patriots.
However, this book proves that literature can move attitudes and behaviors since after its publication, the association of Swiss bankers publicly apologized to the Jews for all the difficulties made.
